Richard Bak takes us on a visual journey through Detroit’s golden era, encompassing the first three decades of the twentieth century. It was during this time that the City of Detroit experienced its most rapid physical growth and underwent an unprecedented pace of social and technological change. Detroit: 1900–1930 contains nearly 190 illustrations, including studio portraits, snapshots, postcards, songsheet covers, and period advertisements. Collectively, these images evoke a past that is often too easily forgotten as older Detroiters pass away. As you thumb through the pages of this book, you will encounter such influential people as Henry Ford and other automotive pioneers who helped to “put the world on wheels.” Experience daily life as it was lived at the time of the First World War, and discover the major role Detroit played in this historic conflict. This volume highlights the wave of

immigration that occurred here at the turn of the century, when roughly half of the city’s population hailed from other countries. Also featured are various scenes from the “Roaring Twenties,” the ill-fated experiment in Prohibition, and the effect of the Great Depression on the city’s economy.]]> 38920 3.65 77 11 1999 333478 0471234877 9780471234876 0 <![CDATA[Henry and Edsel: The Creation of the Ford Empire]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173831581m/333478.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173831581s/333478.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/333478.Henry_and_Edsel_The_Creation_of_the_Ford_Empire 3.33 3 In this retelling of the story of the rise of Ford Motors, journalist Richard Bak offers a daring new perspective on the human drama that helped shape one of the world's great business empires. No dry corporate history, Henry and Edsel focuses on the epic battle of wills between the unyielding Henry Ford, his gifted son Edsel, and his "second son," the brutal and insidious Harry Bennet who rose from barroom brawler to become Henry's heir apparent. Bak dispels the common misperception of Edsel Ford as a weak and ineffectual manager, and explains that it was in fact Edsel's level-headedness and imaginative business solutions and that allowed the company to survive the many challenges to its survival in the first half of the twentieth century. Timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary celebration of Ford Motor Company, Henry and Edsel is sure to be warmly received by history buffs and business readers.
Richard Bak (Detroit, MI) is a veteran journalist who has written widely on the Fords and the automobile industry.]]> 38920 3.65 77 11 2003 556350 0814325122 9780814325124 1 <![CDATA[A Place for Summer: A Narrative History of Tiger Stadium (Great Lakes Books)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175780063m/556350.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175780063s/556350.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/556350.A_Place_for_Summer_A_Narrative_History_of_Tiger_Stadium 4.00 2 38920 3.65 77 11 1998 3221959 1 <![CDATA[Peach: Ty Cobb in His Time and Ours]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3221959.Peach_Ty_Cobb_in_His_Time_and_Ours 5.00 1 38920 3.65 77 11 2005 1636733 157243337X 9781572433373 0 <![CDATA[The Corner: A Century of Memories at Michigan and Trumbull (Honoring a Detroit Legend)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186171144m/1636733.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186171144s/1636733.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1636733.The_Corner_A_Century_of_Memories_at_Michigan_and_Trumbull 5.00 1 The Corner: A Century of Memories at Michigan and Trumbull takes a look back at the storied history of Tiger Stadium in this, its final year.

Known as Tiger Stadium since 1961, this ground has witnessed many stories, recounted with admiration in The Corner. Great players such as Ty Cobb strode the grassy field, and time-honored rivalries, such as that between the Tigers and the Yankees, were played out in dramatic fashion. The stadium has spawned personalities as well-known as Ernie Harwell, the Hall of Fame broadcaster, and as locally-beloved as Herbie Redmond, the dancing groundskeeper.

The Corner offers a comprehensive tribute in words and pictures to one of the last old-time baseball stadiums. We learn about the history of the Detroit Tigers and Tiger Stadium and the great games played there, a journey which begins with the foundation of baseball and takes us all the way through this memorable century for sports. For anyone who has ever enjoyed a drink and a hot dog in the stands of a venerable old baseball stadium, this book is not to be missed.
